Ihave received your letter. I amveryglad that you are undertaking
work forProletary. This is absolutelynecessary,
particularlyin regard to the subjects you mention+Italian letters. Mind
you don’t forget that you are a contributor to a Party newspaper and
don’t let those round you forget it.

Allthe very best.Yours,Lenin

P.S.Privately, about philosophy: I cannot return your compliments and
I think you will soon take yours back. As for me, I have parted company (and
probably for a long time) with the preachers of “the union of scientific
socialism and religion” and with all Machists as well.
